*** Even funnier is that a [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy certain cartoon]] made a joke about a father naming his daughter Megatron.

* MisaimedMarketing: The book is most famous as a children's book for elementary school students, but the scientific concepts are more suitable for middle-school or high-school students. This is particularly true for the other books in the series, which incorporate cellular-level biology concepts (''A Wind in the Door'') and theoretical physics (''A Swiftly Tilting Planet'').

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: After so much time has been dedicated to IT and the Black Thing, the book ends [[spoiler: without even trying to resolve all of the loose plot threads related to them, nor are they ever dealt with. This is intentional, since these are big cosmic problems and Meg, as an individual in a macrocosmic universe, is neither able nor expected to handle them herself, but rather do the best she can for the people she loves. But it can also feel like L'Engle just forgot about them the second she has Meg and her family return home from saving Charles Wallace.]]

** Tessering in general is a fantastic premise for an entire series of science fiction novels about adventures in space and time, as [[Franchise/DoctorWho fans of classic British television]] can attest. But Madeline L'Engle didn't have much interest in doing the same thing over again, so no later novels in the series reuse it and [[spoiler: Dr. Murray never so much as mentions it again, despite seemingly having no real restrictions on his ability besides inexperience and trouble aiming. Though admittedly his extremely traumatic first experience could easily have put him off it, nothing is mentioned of his attempting to, say, refine and add safeties to the process]].
